# Terminology Bindings for Nutrition Diagnosis

## Nutrition Diagnosis Value Sets

These following bindings ensure that the FHIR resources effectively capture nutrition diagnosis information using standardized SNOMED CT terminology, promoting interoperability and accurate data exchange across healthcare systems.

<table data-full-width="true"><thead><tr><th>FHIR element</th><th>General SNOMED CT value set</th><th>Nutrition-specific SNOMED CT value set</th><th>Corresponding ECL</th><th>Number of concepts</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Condition.code</strong></td><td><a href="http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/condition-code">http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/condition-code</a></td><td>Members of the Nutrition Care Process Terminology reference set</td><td>^ 1303957004</td><td>Nutrition Care Process Terminology reference set</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Condition.evidence.code</strong></td><td><a href="http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/clinical-findings">http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/clinical-findings</a></td><td>N/A</td><td>&#x3C; 404684003</td><td>Clinical finding</td></tr></tbody></table>

The following value sets can be used as alternative bindings to represent nutrition diagnosis data. The “Nutrition Diagnosis Grouping” value set, stewarded by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and available via the Value Set Authority Center (VSAC) at the National Library of Medicine (NLM), contains 167 concepts and can be accessed [here](https://vsac.nlm.nih.gov/valueset/2.16.840.1.113762.1.4.1095.85/expansion). Another value set, the “Nutrition Focused Physical Findings Grouping,” also stewarded by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, includes 372 concepts and is accessible [here](https://vsac.nlm.nih.gov/valueset/2.16.840.1.113762.1.4.1095.49/expansion). These value sets enable precise and standardized documentation of nutrition-related diagnoses and physical findings.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.snomed.org/implementation-guides/ncpt-implementation-guide/5-information-models-and-terminology-binding/5.4-hl7-fhir-and-ncpt/5.4.2-fhir-resources-for-nutrition-diagnosis/5.4.2.1-terminology-bindings-for-nutrition-diagnosis.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
